The PatternFinder: A Tool for Discovering Patterns

 

The PatternFinder is a generalized pattern analysis tool. Although it can be used by a broad community, it is targeted for researchers in computer architecture and systems as it can be used for quantitatively analyzing a program's behavior in terms of regularities and patterns.

 

This project is supported by NSF grant, SHF #1422516.

 

The open-source PatternFinder tool will be released at this website. Please check back soon. You may access the current PatternFinder code base if you are interested in testing the tool. We appreciate the feedback.
